In that case, yes, which is why you never see that case. But notes1 segno ||: notes2 :|| dal segno would be: notes1 notes2 notes2 notes2 > > 2.)

D.C. or D.S al Coda The coda looks like a gunsight, and it means that you skip to the next gunsight, which begins the Coda. (means Cauda, tail) Don't use a segno for a coda sign.

You need to know that after taking a D.S or D.C., repeat signs and first endings (alternatives) are ignored, and the 2nd ending is played, unless there is a third. An illegal workaround is to have a 1.3. alt and a 2.4. alt. Another is "D.C. with repeat". -- Don't grasp the nettle firmly. Just let go of the damn thing. dra@ http://www.openguitar.com _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
